Here is a higher-quality and less-cropped version of this image. Credit to the photographer, Hannie Heere, who took this on May 28, 2021 in the Netherlands.

“I was laying on the ground,” Heere tells PetaPixel. “This young bird count not fly yet and was not afraid. I took the picture from a distance of about 5 to 6 meters [~16 feet].”

She shot the photo with a Canon 5D Mark IV DSLR and a Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS lens at f/8, 1/1000s, and ISO 200.
